What blade shapes would you want in Lc200N?

#1

Post by SpyderEdgeForever »

Fellow Spyderco collectors/users/aficionados: What types of blade shapes and grinds and also handle materials and shapes would you like to see Spyderco manufacture, using the new Lc200N steel?

I was thinking of this:

1 Hawkbill, both serrated and plain edges.
2 Something similar to the Endura and Delica blade pattern, possibly a Pacific-Salt like blade but in Lc200N. Would that be redundant, since there is one in H1?

3 Something more leaf shaped akin to the Manix or Sage.

They have the upcoming Fish Hunter, ofcourse, and I would like to see more about the postulated Caribbean, too.

4 This one is a little more "out there", but, the other day I got this mental image/thought image of a Spyderco fixed blade knife that has some of the pattern of the Warrior, but, with something of a more saber-defined semi-curved blade, with FRN handle scales, full tang or not, almost like a combination of the old satin bladed Aqua Salt, mixed with the satin bladed Warrior, with a saber-scimitar shaped blade with swedge at the tip. Something akin to that is what popped into my mind. I don't know what you'd call it but I like the design I saw in my mind.

Since the Never Summer Native 5 was just let loose into the wild, I could see a light weight Manix in the future. The blade thickness is similar.

Something along the lines of the Manix or Manix LW would be nice, but I think the Caribbean will sport those two sizes and that leaf shape, IIRC.
Something ala Police (Longer, pointier than Pacific Salt) and definitely some kind of Reverse S (like the Lil' Matriarch) or Hawkbill like the Tasman, but a bit bigger

I'm hoping the the Never Summer release means the a production Native and Manix are imminent. The Native5 is such a great candidate for the Salt Series.

I will buy anything with a 3"+ cutting edge, plain edge, no recurve, and as thin behind the apex as the Spydiechef (i.e. ~0.035 at 1/4" behind the apex or less and ~0.015 at 1/32" behind the apex or less). I dare not even to dream of it also being ~0.100" the spine or less and having a distal taper.

I'm looking for something in FRN. A cross between the yojimbo and the spyder chef. Basically I want a yojimbo style blade with a handle that lets you get the edge flat against a cutting board. Like a pointy chopping blade. I'd settle for an frn spydie chef.

Delica and Endura with FRN. I want an inexpensive knife I can use and not be afraid to lose.

How about a modified spear-point (with the tip just barely below centerline)?
